Burzum

Black metal, ambient, myths, folklore, odalism (a philosophy based on the organic relation between blood and soil - yuck) and philosophy - these are just a few concepts associated with this Norwegian band.

The word burzum, it means as much as 'darkness', comes from the so-called Black Language, a fictional language that J. R. Tolkien introduces in his Lord of the Rings.

The word is used in the inscription engraved into the One Ring, also fictional, described by Tolkien as the most important of the Rings of Power.
